I was told if your not in the states you can order one and you don't have to be an xcat team. We will see in a few weeks if this pans out cause it goes against everything I've herd.Quote:

a gut feeling tells me they're different.

maybe just maybe not EPA compliant??
believe it or not, the machine work for the mids is not done in house at Mercury. A guy up the road from us does it. I can shoot an email to find out possibly.Quote:

Where are all the 4 stroke knobs that crucified me over all the yrs while telling me a 400 hp 4 stroke (Verado) was around the corner?
I think they said something like, "all they have to do is turn up the boost" ;)
Gator, and I am purely speculating. But 400 hp on a boosted 2.6 liter. Can't have a great life span. Specially knowing Mercs track record of having bean counters dictate the quality of parts inside
like I said Carl is rolling.
My thought from day one and with 32 lbs of boost :oQuote:

On the 400R's we install, produce ~15pounds of boost.Quote:

Wonder what XCAT racers are doing with their 2.5 280's that they won't need for racing because they swapped their motors for the 400ROS
I'll buy in!
One of the guys testing one in Fla said that's what their lap top showed.Quote:
